986 - Is this normal engine noise?

It's a whining sound over all RPM's. You'll notice in the video it gets louder when rev'ing the engine, with and without the clutch engaged.

I've taken off the serpentine belt, and the noise persists. This normally wouldn't be an issue, but I've recognized this noise getting louder over the year I've have the car, and at this point it's loud to where the cabin noise becomes a nuisance. You only start hearing the exhaust engine roar once it hits 4-5K in RPM, but only due to the engine being louder than this whine. The whine is very loud near red-line.

I've replaced the air filter (much needed) but that didn't help. Any idea's?
